Question

Why the acetic acid soluble in the water and ethers?

Answer 1

So, acetic acid will dissolve in water because it too has polar hydrogen bonding sites and can even be ionic (polar charges on different molecules), both of which will strongly attract water. The net effect is the ether/acetic acid mix is mostly non-polar and can mix.

hope that helped! :)

pls mark brainliest if it did

Answer 2

Answer:

Acetic acid has a polar group with the -COOH at one end. Polar substances readily form hydrogen bonds in a polar liquid such as water. Diethyl ether is also somewhat polar, so that’s part of it.

Explanation:

the other end of acetic acid is -CH3, which is non-polar. This part tends to mix nicely with other non-polar stuff such as the ethyl parts of the ether
